NOVEMBER 16, 1992 SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION IV, 1810 EAST HAZELTON ';t1= 181992 STOCKTON, CA 95205 GOIMMUNil ! UEF'i. ATTENTION: LOREE GOOLD PLANNING DIVISION REFERENCE: APPLICATION NUMBER: SU-92-0015 DEAR MS. G00LD AS THE OWNERS AND OCCUPANTS OF 8851 NORTH HILDRETH LANE, STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA ( assessors parcel number 086-420-09) , MY WIFE AND I MAKE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS REGARDING THE ABOVE REFERENCED SUBDIVISION APPLICATION. THE DENSITY OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE LARGE LOT, SEMI-RURAL NATURE OF THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE WEST NOR To THE AGRICULTURAL USES TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST. WITH THE PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE 43. 15 ACRES INTO 37 LOTS WITH REQUIRED STREETS, THE RESULTING LOT SIZE WILL, OF NECESSITY, BE CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 1 ACRE IN SIZE. MANY OF THE ADJACENT LOTS EXCEED THIS SIZE. THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC VOLUME ON HILDRETH LANE, CAUSED BY THE ADDITION OF 37 HOUSES WITH THEIR ONLY ACCESS BEING CAN£PA ROAD VIA HILDRETH LANE, WILL CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT. AT THE PRESENT TIME HILDRETH LANE CARRIES A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AT EXCESSIVE SPEED (the posted speed is 30 MPH) DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY AND LATE AT NIGHT. THERE IS AT PRESENT NO SPEED LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE INCREASED TRAFFIC VOLUME WOULD ONLY FURTHER DEGRADE THE PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALSO THE INCREASED VOLUME OF TRAFFIC WOULD MOST LIKELY TRAVERSE THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TRACTION RAILROAD TRACKS WITH AN ATTENDANT INCREASE IN THE LIKELIHOOD OF AUTO VERSUS TRAIN COLLISION. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS NO REAL ESTATE MARKET DRIVEN REASON FOR THIS PROPERTY TO BE SUBDIVIDED. WITHIN THE MORADA DISTRICT THERE ARE AT PRESENT SEVERAL DOZEN VACANT FINISHED RESIDENTIAL LOTS AVAILABLE FOR HOME CONSTRUCTION. WE URGE DENIAL OF THIS PROPOSED SUBDIVISION. IF A SUBDIVISION IS TO BE APPROVED, CONDITIONS SHOULD BE ATTACHED THAT WILL MITIGATE THE ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT RESULTING FROM THE INCREASED TRAFFIC VOLUME. THIS MITIGATION COULD TAKE SEVERAL FORMS SUCH AS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING THE HOUSING DENSITY AND REQUIRING AN ADDITIONAL POINT OF ACCESS TO THE DEVELOPMENT. PLEASE SEND US A COPY OF THE PLANNING DIVISION ACTION. CERE Y4 1 91��44A DAVID J. H RICK JOAN F. HENDRICK 8851 NORTH HILDRETH LANE, STOCKTON, CA 95212
